If you describe my article in news.admin.misc as tattling, then I
say yes, I told them about the no-vote rule in bionet.prof-society.*.
Both you and Dave Mack have replied *there* with complaints that
my article sounded so matter-of-fact that it could be mistaken as
authoritative. In bionet.general, you complain that I "appealed"
to the readers of news.admin.misc.
1. You can't have it both ways.
2. Both ways are your interpretation; bionet.general readers
are free to judge for themselves.
3. Either way, I think you're doing bionet.* more harm than
good by going on like this.
